BF561 Boot From Flash

Started by ajmassa November 2, 2007
I am trying to use the flash plugin in VisualDSP 4.5 to program an
Intel J3vD flash on my board. My flash is connected as an 8-bit
interface. I have changed an existing driver for the flash plugin
driver. It appears to program the data into the flash correctly. I
believe I am configuring my application image correctly for
programming into the flash (8-bit output width, flash/prom boot mode,
etc.). However, when I try to have the bootloader boot my image from
flash, it doesn't work. I haven't instrumented the flash to check the
signals -- I'd rather avoid that if possible. Has anyone been
successful doing this? Can anyone give me some tips on getting me
through this?

Thanks.
